# setValuesForKeys(_:)

Sets properties of the receiver with values from a given dictionary, using its keys to identify the properties.

```
func setValuesForKeys(_ keyedValues: [String : Any])
```

## Parameters

`keyedValues`

A dictionary whose keys identify properties in the receiver. The values of the properties in the receiver are set to the corresponding values in the dictionary.

## Discussion

The default implementation invokes [`setValue(_:forKey:)`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObject-swift.class/setValue(_:forKey:)) for each key-value pair, substituting `nil` for `NSNull` values in `keyedValues`.

## See Also

[`dictionaryWithValues(forKeys:)`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObject-swift.class/dictionaryWithValues(forKeys:))

Returns a dictionary containing the property values identified by each of the keys in a given array.
